My employment is changing diapers, cleaning up after a 4 year olds spilt juice, doing laundry, cooking dinner for 6, running kids here and there, and every now and then sneaking down stairs to check my score, vote, or write in the forums. Maybe I could take one of my husbands work. lol

Based on previous challenge results I don't think a photo of diaper-changing would go over too well...however, if you have a front-loading washer, a close-up of the window during the wash cycle might make for a good abstract...

Maybe some portraits of the po-faced staff down at the dole office (LOL)

Sonja, and other Moms and Dads, Even though your work keeps you at home, I personally think you, and other homemakers, have the most important job of all. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart. Ask anyone who has struggled to get pregnant, or who has been separated from their children.
Some suggestions for photo ops on the job: Cooking and baking, reading to a beloved child, tucking a child into bed, setting a beautiful table, doing crafts, or coloring with kids, piles of colorful laundry, grooming a child, tending to garden or houseplants, etc.
I have no children at home, but due to a disability I don't leave my home to go to work, but I am a very important homemaker. :-)

Cool bumper sticker! I need one of those.
Rats! I don't have a front loading washer.

I'll try to track down the bumper sticker (or address to send for it). You could go to a laundromat and use a front-loader...

Sonja, please explain to Paul that you do not have those effete "laundromats" in Wyoming. Tell him about going down to the river, breaking the ice, then lugging the water back to be heated on the wood burning stove. The General lives in California (where I spent most of my life) and just doesn't know about country life.
It would be great to see photos of your four youngsters and Papa.

Hmm. A stipulation in my employment contract states that I wouldn't
take a camera with me into my place of work. I wonder if other people
don't have similar restrictions ?

Hey your not making fun of my way of life, are you? LOLOLOL This is so funny. I laughed so hard while reading this. I could take a picture of me milking the cows or feeding the turkeys. Heehee

On the subject of bumper stickers. I had one time that read -- All work, no pay makes a housewife!

Oh yea, I think this would be an interesting challenge.

Darn, I was sure I saw one in Jackson Hole the one time I was there about 20 years ago! I was actually considering the location issue when I wrote the comment, so I did refrain from phrasing it as "run down to the..." but got caught anyway. Of course, this may explain why you have to keep the computer hidden in the root cellar...

Same here. Cameras are a "firing" (and never being hired in the industry again!) offense !! Post 9-11 security issues.
